Storm at the cape

Storm at the cape

Experienced a wave crashing storm last weekend @ Pacific City. It wasn't easy as the sea spray kept getting my lens wet, and the wind was blowing hard enough to make my eyes water. Fun time regardless!

Big Wave

Big Wave

I would like everyone to know from the start that this photo is a bit photoshopped. I say "bit" because you can see two guys standing on the cliff as the wave rolls over, only in the real version they had to jump a few feet down the other side of the cliff as the oncoming wave completely soaked them (and fortunately not washing them off!). The first photo is of these guys just standing there and the second photo is of the wave coming over. My purpose for putting the two together was to give you perspective on how turbulent the ocean was this last weekend, and how big that cliff is @ Pacific City. So as much I want to say to the two fellas that being on the ridge wasn't too bright, it is a fact I was less than 50 ft. from them earlier that morning. ;)

Triumphant Rising

Triumphant Rising

Just havin' a little fun in photoshop. For the past five months or so I've been making people pictures and have seriously neglected the landscape side of photography, which explains why I am hearing sounds of an ocean in my mind... guess it's time to go to the coast!

Strobist info: one 24" beauty dish upper left of subject and one small softbox to the right of subject, both using Vivtar 285 with remotes. Subject was extracted from background and put into a "creative" evironment.

My youngest dancing to Flo Rida's "Good Feeling." No coordination, but he can kick out a mean robot move. :)

Yes, I do believe Adobe has nailed this one. I know many people are not totally sold on hdr, but this programs minor adjustments (if you haven't tried it yet, it's free) can make the world of a difference.
